It turns out that the highly anticipated extraction shooter, Marathon, which was originally scheduled to launch on September 23, 2025 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, will no longer be released on that date. At present, a new release date has not been disclosed, but Bungie aims to reveal one by Fall 2025.
As a gamer, I’ve realized that Bungie is extending the development timeline because they’re taking into account the valuable insights from the gaming community following our initial tests and sneak peeks.
The studio expressed gratitude for your fervent input on the Marathon unveiling and Alpha playtest, as well as your understanding while they carefully considered feedback and mapped out future plans. Your voice has resonated strongly through comments and live discussions on social media and Discord. They’ve internalized this feedback, recognizing the need to spend more time perfecting Marathon so it embodies the enthusiasm you’ve shown. After thorough deliberation among the development team, they have decided to postpone the September 23rd release date.
The statement goes on to say: “The Alpha phase provided us with a chance to fine-tune and concentrate the game around elements that will make it exceptionally engaging – survival in high-pressure situations, enigma and background stories lurking everywhere, challenging raid-like endgame activities, and Bungie’s renowned first-person shooter combat. We’re utilizing this period to allow our team to craft an intense, high-stakes experience akin to Marathon, which involves strengthening the bond between developers and the game’s most significant stakeholders: our players. In the coming months, we’ll carry on with closed testing (including Alpha participants) to implement gameplay improvements and trial new features as they become available.
Over the next few months, Bungie plans to address various aspects of player feedback in three main categories: Increasing the sense of importance (stakes), expanding the richness of the game worlds, and incorporating more social interactions.
As an enthusiast, I’m thrilled about these exciting enhancements we’re bringing to our game:
1. A more intelligent AI that keeps me on my toes.
2. A diverse array of loot with improved rewards that make victories even sweeter.
3. Combat scenarios that ratchet up the tension, making every fight a heart-pounding experience.
4. Stunning visuals that take the game’s beauty to a whole new level.
5. Richer narrative elements and immersive environmental storytelling that deepen my connection to the original universe.
6. A darker tone that aligns more closely with the game’s roots, adding an extra layer of depth.
7. Enhanced solo and duo runs for a more rewarding player experience.
8. Proximity chat for better communication and collaboration with other players.
